Unclaimed Baggage is a local retail brand that has been serving its community for years. The brand's primary focus has been on taking lost luggage from airports that have failed to be reunited with their previous owners and reselling the items after an extensive quality control process. As of 2021, Unclaimed Baggage launched its e-commerce retail store, expanding its reach beyond its local geographic area.
Unclaimed Baggage sought to expand its customer base by increasing its online presence. EmberTribe audited the account, defined a strategy, and worked towards achieving growth goals and establishing a strong online presence.
Difficulty scaling ad revenue without budget increase.
Limited budget for testing new platforms.
Precise timing in promotions for maximizing revenue and ROI in paid ads.
Refine Facebook ad targeting and optimize ad testing for specific audiences.
Focus on CAC and MER to prove how a budget increase affects revenue.
We planned ahead our approach for branching out into more niche markets at the right time.
January tends to be a slower month coming out of the holidays. So we prepared our audience research and built the collections based on their historic data to juice out weak months.
We focus on their "get active" collections to the fitness markets and generated a great return (these audiences outperformed the TOFU audiences).
After seeing the results of the first niche audience, we branched out into more niche markets as the summer kicked-in to boost performance and returns.
We reached stability with our experiments and campaigns and generated the top 2 revenue months (1st November, 2nd July).
In the last year, we find some clear opportunities to temporarily increase ad spend. This gave us the chance to monitor closely the impact attributed to ad revenue and compared it to the period prior. We found a strong correlation of revenue and ad spend, which was backed by the tracking system set in place. Even before seeing the final results, we took into consideration some indicators like CPM, CPC, Cost per Add To Cart, Cost per Checkout Initiated, CAC (cost of acquisition), and of course ROAS and MER.
We increased total revenue by 30% compared to the previous period.
The increase in revenue not only came from new orders but also to an improve in returning customers with higher LTV.
By targeting new niche audiences and focusing on the right campaigns at the right time, we increased the overall conversion rate of the brand.
TOP STRATEGY FOR B2C ECOMMERCE IN THE CLOTHING-APPAREL SPACE
Our clients still make substantial revenue on the popular primary channels. But we know that Facebook and Google costs are rising, and scale is limited. So at EmberTribe, we found a path to hit businesses’ goals by methodically tapping into multiple secondary channels. But it needs to be strategic.
